We stayed here for 8 nights. This is a large campground with a lot of amenities for in season. 2 pools, mini golf, paddle boat rentals, paddle board rentals, arcade, etc. We stayed off season so the price was a little high for anything we could take advantage of. But to that point there weren't many campers left and only a few transients staying. They spaced us out so we all had plenty of room which was great. They have cable with minimal channels, but enough. Cell service with Verizon was okay so we were able to hot spot Wifi. We had one of the premium sites which came with a stone fire pit, paver patio and picnic table and Adirondack chairs around the pit. They also have plenty of cabins to rent. Area is a good place to explore the western side of the Cape, Plymouth, and ferry to Martha's Vineyard and other areas. We would stay here again. - Fulltimingit

Very nice campground, although no site wifi. Office closes early. Spacious, paved level and treed. Watch GPS directions, ours weren't accurate. Well worth the price. Cabins are very nice, as our friends stayed in them. Staff was very helpful about things to do in the area. - Maltaman

We stayed here for 2 months (June 29-Aug 29). We got the monthly rate of about $2000 per month for a "Glampsite."

Very disappointed. Wifi is almost non existent. If you want wifi in your rig, stay near the office. Use the Deck connection as the pool connection is worthless.

Electric power is spotty. My surge protector kept turning off power because of low voltage. They ask you to use only 1 AC, not two. Bathrooms are not very nice. Clean but not upscale. Many staff not friendly. Must pay for guests. Will not come back. - Mike Perrault

We stayed over the week of labor day. We liked the pullthru area. 50 amps and sewer. The Big Rig area had no trees & that is alright with me. All the barking & kids noise was over in the well kept camp areas away from us. There many seasonal campers here. Lots of things for family & kids to enjoy. The staff were friendly. Service was great & the Camp was clean. This really is a great spot. The only issue we had was the laundry. We are fulltime and found the laundry facility to be the only thing lacking. There simply were not enough washers or dryers. With 300 or so campsites, 5 units did not meet the demands. - KodiTzu

This park was one of the best we've stayed at. They have rows of seasonal campsites, some of which could use cleaning up, but if you stay in the area of the day campers, you will be fine. We had full hookups with 50 amp, and the spaces were very wide on both sides. The area has large trees, and it is a great camping experience. The staff is super-friendly and accommodating. They have a higher daily rate over the weekend (Fri-Sun). We could not get satellite TV because of the trees, but we were able to get 24 over-the-air channels, so we could keep up with the news and some of our favorite shows on network TV. They do offer Wi-Fi, and once connected, is fairly fast. It is close to Plymouth, and Boston is 1 hour away. - Ferdy

This is a gated campground with grass and dirt back-in sites that are plenty big enough for slides and awnings. The utilities at our FHU site worked well and we had good Wi-Fi and were able to pickup a few OTA channels. They have lots of activities for kids and a big playground. It was easy to get in and out of the park as was our site. Our only complaint was the barking dogs, the worst we have experienced in almost 4 years of full-timing. The park host warned them a couple of times but it didn't help much. I don't believe it is a regular issue, just a few campers that didn't care what others thought. The host are very friendly. We would stay here again. - dandg

Making the reservation was easy and the woman I spoke to very welcoming. Bathrooms are scary and dark.. and desperately need updating. Mini golf is overpriced and not very appealing . Showers aren't great either . Season sites are very run down and the "store" is a small back room with some items. Lakes are pretty. Playground is big. Sites are literally on top of each other where we are . We need to check in with the neighbors to let us drive in and out . Site size is pretty big but zero lighting near the ball field where we are . Makes it a little tougher to find the bathrooms at night . They had a meat raffle last night and all the campers seemed pretty happy. No angry people . There is a lot of sand and dirt which my daughter loves , but definitely bring sneakers !! - Camping mom Kris

Let me start by saying that this campground has tremendous potential. The grounds are very nice, mostly wooded and includes several ponds. Another nice feature is the bar that is located on-site that includes live entertainment on weekends. Now the negatives. The staff members that we came across during our stay were very rude! I think campground employee's sometimes forget that the campers are the campground's customers and without them they wouldn't have jobs. We found the sites to be very small and extremely close together. Upon setting up our travel trailer once we opened the awning there were literally tent stakes from the tents in the site next to ours under our awning. I'm sure there are better sites within the campground however they are few and far between. Last but not least ten dollars per person for friends/family to visit the campground is ridiculous. I would not recommend this campground and I won't be back. Stay away! - Mikeynas

This was a typical campground where the teenagers get very loud at night around the basket ball courts until 11 pm or 12 am. The sites are not very big at all. - v245059

We are currently staying here, the road into the campground has add gravel added and is much better. Sites are all dirt. Streets are dirt and muddy, lots of pot holes. WiFi sucks and they want you to pay for it. AT&T cell coverage is bad so mifi will not work, maybe a booster will help, but I don't own one. Too Many Trees. I know I'm camping, but make some room for modern campers with slides. Choice of putting slides out or awnings, of course we choose the sliders. Hookups are convenient. I would stay here again because my 30 days are "free", but not worth much $$ - Retsub

We are new elite members and have enjoyed our TT membership greatly. We are full time and it is a big benefit for us. We just left the campground of Gateway to Cape Cod and we have some serious concerns about the resort. We have been full time now for about a year and have stayed in 20 plus resorts in south and eastern coast. The resort at Cape Cod is by far the worst we have ever stayed in. The entrance road is dirt with so many mud holes that is is almost impossible to enter the resort. Once inside, the gate was unmanned and not working. During our week there I never once saw one person manning the gate for security. Every road in the park was almost impassible due to water and terrible mud. I almost got stuck in motor home and auto on several occasions. It is almost impossible to distinquise the roads from sites within park, you must be extremely carelful to be certain you remain on the roads. I asked staff about road conditions and her response was well we don't have a tractor and every time we scrape them it rains and it messes them up again. I asked if there were plans to pave any of roads expecially entrance road and her response was that it had been planned for years but only when money allowed. She said TT had owned park for over 10 years and no road work has been done. I said at least they could put gravel on roads since all of them are sand and mud. I told her it was once of worst I had seen and she got ugly and said well I don't guess you haven't camped very much. Not good customer response to a member. No staff was ever seen on the grounds except in store when I went in and no guard at the gate ever. Not up to standard we were promised with our intro to TT. Can you please pass this on for hopeful help with this park. All of ours have been awesome so far but I don't know if I could go back to this one again. - revrick3

Nice Park as others have said the surface is dirt but plenty of shade cover. All sites are full hook ups and have 50 amp service. WIFI with Verizon was average but you can get by with it. Road into park as stated is part gravel and was very bad, pot holes everywhere and rough. Park is central to allot to be done in thew area from day trips to Boston or out to the cape. Also we did day trips into Rhode Island from this location. Apart from the road we enjoyed our two weeks there and will go back in the future. - M5Adventures

This is an older campground with lots of seasonal lots, some of which are a little rough. However, if you want to visit the Cape, then this campground offers some benefits. On the plus side, the Shining Seas bike path is adjacent to the campground and they offer a shuttle service to the ferry boats for Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. They also sell the ferry tickets so you just take the shuttle and walk right onto the boat. This is a real convenience. They have a really nice campground brochure that folds out into a map of the Cape with some featured directions. They offer free WiFi that worked quite well for us. On the downside, they have possibly the worst driveways I have seen. There is asphalt until you get to the campsite loop, then it starts to break up with tree roots and potholes, then it turns to rutted dirt. In addition, the driveway is very narrow and has a steep drop. We found it difficult to get level on the site we had, sloped back to front and side to side. I would rate the showers and bathrooms as acceptable, generally clean, good water pressure, but I was not able to get the shower door to lock so had two people walk in during my shower. We had a site with water and 30 amp electric for $53 per night, sewer dump is available. We could not get satellite TV due to tree cover but had a good selection of over the air channels. AT&T 4G signal strength was -97 dBm, fairly good. - Coopsecondact

Very close to downtown Falmouth and the bus to Martha's Vineyard ferry. Very quiet and close to an impressive bike path. Rustic, dirt sites mostly, small streets but good enough for a 35 footer. I enjoyed the stay because of the convenience mostly. I would go again if going to the area. - jaygee

We only stayed here one night as a stop when getting off the Martha's Vineyard Ferry. The campground is very clean and the staff were immensely friendly and helpful. It abuts the bike trail. However, the site we were given was nearly impossible to get into. Roads are washed dirt, very narrow, twisty and rocky. If it weren't for our friendly seasonal neighbor we would have never gotten into the site. A walk around the campground shows this to be true of most sites. Very tight with poor approaches. More than 70% of the campground seems to be seasonals. It served our purpose for one night, but would probably not plan an entire week here. - Everyboysmomma

On a four month travel from Tucson up into the N.E. Hard to find an RV park mid-Oct in this area. Chose this one and it's fine. Setting is in the woods, heavily treed, rustic camping, yet with full hook-ups. Staff was friendly & helpful. This is a summertime retreat with a large lodge, lake and seemingly a myriad of activities for families escaping the Boston area. We'd stay again. - TPDBOB8687

Charge extra for pets ($10 per night for 2). Will charge you for a full propane tank even if your tank is not completely empty (mine was at about 1/3 full so I didn't get it filled). Lots of rules and regulations. Absolutely nothing private about the showers--door opens to the shower curtains facing the door. Very few restrooms so my friends, who were unlucky enough not to have their own bathroom, had to really trek to use the facilities and being able to cut through my site cut off a little of the distance. - Scldg

Our site was a back-in that was a bit off the road. We had to block up the front of the coach (even with jacks), since the site wasn't level. No breaker at the power box. Decent sewer connection. Very wooded. The staff in the office was friendly and efficient. Quite smokey from all the campfires. - DreamCaptn

We stayed here in late September/early October. The park is primarily for seasonal mobile homes and permanent RVs; very few were actually occupied this late in the season (the Cape is a "summer location"). There are few temporary "RV" spots here. However, we were very happy with this park because it is in a super-quiet area and is full of beautiful trees; it is a lovely park. The seasonal RVs are mostly quite nice ones, too. This is a well-kept park. Though sites are a little close together, we had plenty of room for our 30 foot trailer and large truck. There as plenty of room to open our slides. There is a playground here and a nice walking path. There is basically no wifi-- you have to go to the club house or something like that; I just hotspotted into my AT&T phone, which worked fine. - beckydmc

This is primarily a summer residential camp. The toilets and showers are very old with few amenities. There was not even a hook in the shower. But there were spiders and moths. There were also lots of little worms dropping from the trees - something that would not happen all the time - we just managed to hit worm season. Very nice pool. - suerover

This park is not for actual campers. It is a mobile home park for permanent residents. There were few actual RVers and campers. There was very little, if anything, going on in the park. No activities. The bathrooms and showers were filthy, unkempt and unsafe. There was actually an electrical cord hanging in the women's shower without a GFI plug. Very unsafe. The internet access was extremely limited. Only 4 consecutive hours of Wi Fi and you needed to be at one location in order to receive it. It was not a good location to the area. We will Never return here. - smartrv7

Kind of in the middle of nowhere. Park is a little in need of TLC. Stay away from the upper camping area, really bad roads and unlevel spaces. We were camping elsewhere and extended our vacation staying here. We were able to check out the campground the day before we moved there. Staff was very nice about letting us pick a different campsite. Store was sadly stocked. - Retired Medic

This was our third stay at this campground and I'm not sure what's happened but things seem to have gone downhill. We stayed during the KOA free night which might be why it was so crowded so we only got a water/electric spot. It was not at all level and had lots of roots on dirt. Using the showers in the main building was odd because the shower head was on the side you walk in on so you have to get wet to turn on the shower. There's another shower for full-hookup sites which is better. As mentioned by other campers there are no rules enforced. On the Saturday night there were cars and trucks parked everywhere; some as many as four to a site. There's plenty of overflow parking but seems people don't want to walk. One couple waved through our door as they cut through our site. People across from us seemed to be long-term with large outside TV (loud) and a large black dog that barked a lot and often was off leash. Lots of trees but none that prevented backing in although the road was not in good condition. It is convenient to shopping and freeways and about halfway between Cape Cod and Boston. The wifi worked OK. Ask for a space along the back row which are full-hookups. - Catsinatrailer

Totally unsupervised park, NO control over anything. The park has an "Emergency After Hour Phone Number" listed on the check-in sheet and I called it, it states to leave a name and phone number and they will call you back the next day, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE! There is NO security in this park at all!!! The sites are dirty muddy sites, roads are gravel and it is out in the country away from anything and they charge like they are near the beach or activities, no stores of any kind are close, 7.5 miles to the closest yet they over-charge for this park. The park store has little to no supplies and no groceries either. This park is NOT up to the KOA standard for being a good park. This park needs to provide after-hour phone numbers that function as they should, they need a Security Staff to police the park and enforce quiet hours and visitors controlled on sites. Boston/Cape Cod KOA, strange that they even call it that because it is 45 minutes to Boston, an hour to Cape Cod both are FAR! I will NEVER again visit this park, hope I can share this for other RV'ers to avoid this park and the bad environment. - GA-RVers

Mostly dilapidated Park models and trailers. RV sites were only a few and down in the 'hollow' which means they had no sewer because it was not functioning. Instead, they would drive a truck by and pump the black water for you which is nice, but necessary. Their location is on the beach. - DustyBob

This campground has 275 very crowded sites with only 9 for transients. The others are permanent seasonal sites, connected with many narrow, twisting roads, really tight for our 36' coach. We had trouble following the map because we couldn't find street names. I hate to think how crowded it must be with all the seasonal campers there. Check-in was seamless except that the power didn't work, but they fixed it right away. WiFi worked well. On the other hand, cable was disappointing. They gave us a list of 100 channels, with the statement "we don't work on TVs." Maybe that's because there are really only about 14 channels, most of them grainy. But the really weird thing was that although they list "sewer" on their website and it is listed on this site, when we were checking in, they told us the sewer was only for gray water. We couldn't use it for black water. WHAT??? In decades of camping, we have never run into this. Maybe it had something to do with the seasonal sites being shut down, but it was never explained. They have a dump station, but having to disconnect and move to dump is really inconvenient. Our coach blocked the road while we were dumping. The biggest plus for us was that campfires are prohibited. We can't tolerate smoke and usually have to seal ourselves up in our coach. They do have places to barbeque. We might stay here again but probably not in season. - pompomgirl

Location was easy to find and navigate. Being located mid cape, it provided a nice base camp for exploring all parts of Cape Cod. Staff was very friendly, and we were escorted to the site, thankfully. Interior roads are paved, but narrow, and wind through the crowded maze of mostly seasonal and permanent park models to the RV site. Site itself was concrete and we were on an end so had plenty of grass area and privacy. Utilities were well located and worked fine. Bathrooms were close by and needed a code to enter. Private beach was right across the road, an easy walk with chairs and cooler. On the weekends the private beach was a blessing, as the adjacent public beach became quite crowded. There is one restaurant/bar within walking distance and we ate their once. It was okay and the prices were decent. We would definitely return here. - MissMyGolden

We made reservations a full year ago and paid the required deposit. Upon checking in this year we were confronted with a MUCH higher balance than was stated when we made the reservation. We had the printout from a year ago but that didn't matter. The clerk explained that the price had gone up yet no contact was made to let us know in advance. It was a huge increase and it put a significant "damper" on our vacation. They had our phone number and email information and failed to let us know about this increase.

Also, they claimed that we had 30 amp electric service but we tripped a breaker twice, not the one at our site but one somewhere else in the park. We have a small travel trailer and have NEVER tripped a breaker before. - Dewer
